Someone had better tell my phone then because I've just made a payment using just my fingerprint.

But a presumption here will be that the payment you have just done is to a previously set up known account/Bill. A new account would have to be set up online (utilising normal security) before it is trusted/can be used for mobile app payments.

Sorry, what I meant is you can't set up new payees just using touch ID.

Absolutely! Just watch old people's fingers being chopped off so that fraudsters can hack into their FD accounts on their iOS devices. I suspect A&E Depts across the country will start to get busy very soon....:rotfl:

I know you weren't being serious, but in case anyone is getting ideas - this won't work because Touch ID will not work with a severed finger.

Why does it not work?

I currently have the Secure Key but will need to transfer to the digital secure key to use Touch ID, do you need to create a separate password for the Digital Secure Key when you set it up?

Yes, a digital secure key uses an alphanumeric password rather than a numeric pin.
